I had just purchased a brand new car. This was my first new car, so I was proud of my accomplishment. I was getting ready to leave for work one morning and noticed that my neighbor had hired a contractor to replace the roof on his home. I didn’t make it to work on time that day. I left my house with plenty of time to spare. And, I didn’t run into a lot of traffic. I had to stop and change a tire. The car had been in my possession for less than a week, and I already had a flat. When I had the tire checked out at a local shop, two roofing nails were discovered. I knew they had come from my neighbor’s project, and sure enough, when I got home, I discovered almost twenty additional roofing nails in my driveway. Tires go flat everyday, from roofing nails that are not properly disposed of. You would think that when contractors learn the basics of roofing, they would be taught how to properly dispose of materials, like roofing nails. Surely they know that the nails are capable of puncturing a tire. You would think that they would be more careful.
